City Ground will be buzzing on Thursday night as Nottingham Forest host Porto in a crucial group-stage clash. Forest are eager to bounce back from a heavy 3-0 defeat to Chelsea and will be counting on home support to rediscover their spark. Chris Wood, who came off the bench at Stamford Bridge, is expected to lead the line from the outset as Forest look to regain confidence and rhythm. Despite recent inconsistency, the English side have proven tough to beat on home soil, often feeding off the crowd’s intensity to lift their performance.
The Dragons, meanwhile, failed to impress in a narrow 2-1 victory over Zvezda, needing a stoppage-time goal to secure all three points. With key man Luuk De Jong still in the recovery room, the Portuguese outfit may lack their usual sharpness in front of goal. Taking into account Forest’s determination and home strength, the hosts are well placed to claim a morale-boosting win.
This Europa League match will be played on Thursday 23 October 2025 at 20:00.
